Tee Higgins projected to get $112 million deal, according to Pro Football Focus
Tee Higgins may want to stay in Cincinnati, but based on Pro Football Focus’ projected contract, his price tag might be out of the Bengals’ range.
The football data site predicts that Higgins, the top free agent of the 2025 offseason, will get a deal worth $112 over four years with $67.5 million guaranteed. That comes out to $28 million per year.
Even though he missed five games due to injury, Higgins, still just 26 years old, finished as PFF’s eighth best receiver overall with a season grade of 88.2. He “consistently produced at a high level”, according to PFF’s free agency profile of the receiver.
The question is, will the Bengals value Higgins as much as PFF does? And will they pay him like the elite receiver he is when the team has another elite receiver (Ja’Marr Chase) to pay as well as an elite pass rusher (Trey Hendrickson) to pay at some point?
Well, tag and trade him at the very least. And I would be okay if we paid him too as long as the rest of the moves can still be done. Ja'Marr
and Trey need to be extended, we need bring back Gesicki, add a Guard and another DL. If all this can be done and we can pay Tee I am for it.
